Dimensional differences among the groups of retinal ganglion cells according to the retinal zones in chicks
2006
Chen, Y.(China Agricultural Univ., Beijing) | Naito, J.
The populations of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) groups (Groups I, II, III, IV) were similar each other between the central and intermediate zones, but the population in the peripheral zone were clearly different from those in the central and intermediate zones due to increase of Group III and IV cells and decrease of Group I cells. The dimensions of somal area and dendritic field of Group I cells increased very gradually toward the peripheral zone, but those of other three Groups grew steeply in the peripheral zone. The correlation index between somal area and dendritic field of RGCs showed high coefficient in the central (r=0.73) and intermediate (r=0.77) zones, but lowered clearly in the peripheral zone (r=0.64) due to increase of Group III cells, which showed nonlinear relation between somal area and dendritic field.
